The Tennis Thread

I was watching some of their coverage. Peacock as well had coverage today. 

T2 will have the better matches tomorrow.

Coverage tomorrow will also be on NBC starting at 11 am eastern.

Why does it look like they are about to kiss?

Rafa loses. Not too surprised.... Got the same send off as Thiem did with loud chants of Rafa... With Thiem getting Domi chants. Thiem got some kind of trophy too.

Murray gets only a light hearted clap...

From what I understand, Rafa did not want a big “send-off” as he isn’t even sure that this will be his final RG. 
I also heard that there is a possibility that Rafa may skip Wimbledon to prepare for the Olympic Games tennis tournament as it’s being contested at Roland Garros (of course).

Good on Naomi for competing so well on clay but also Iga for standing her ground. I didn’t believe IS had it in her to be honest. 

[Soapsuds]

An awesome match! Been a long time I've enjoyed a woman's match that much. I was pulling for Naomi.

I'm sick and tired of Iga and her game.

[Faulkner]

In her post-win speech, Iga actually came out and asked people to stop yelling out during service and rallies. David Goffin said someone spat their chewing gum at him during his match. RG crowds can veer into hooliganism (worse than USO crowds).

The RG crowds have been boorish for at least two decades now with scant notice. The RG crowd was known to boo French players as well. Personally, I think it was worse when the Williams Sisters were at their peak, it was very clear to me why.

Novak is out!

Injured Djokovic withdraws from French Open

We'll have a new winner this year, and the first not named Djokovic or Nadal since 2015!

I completely missed any tennis news today, never thought I’d see the day when I paid so little attention to what was going on in this sport.

Are they Argentina? Lemme put away that joke about Delpo possibly seeking a sugar mama after his financial troubles. Gabi looks great though.

Yes Gabi looks fabulous!!!

[Faulkner]

She looks better than when she was younger, dare I say it. 

[DramatistDreamer]

Oops, I mean “Are they in Argentina?” But you knew what I meant. And yeah, despite the age difference, I say…Gabi could get it.

[Soapsuds]

It's too bad I'm gay because she's my type in women.

Gabi and I aren't far apart in age. I think her birthday is close to mine too!

I would agree with that statement.
